Broccoli, Garlic, and Lemon Penne With Rotisserie Chicken

For quicker prep, buy bagged broccoli florets. For more cheese flavor and fewer calories, grate your own Parmesan cheese with a Microplane grater, a small-holed handheld grater. It produces a finer shred, so you get more coverage with less cheese.

Instructions

Prepare penne according to package directions for al dente (just firm). Two to three minutes before penne is ready, add broccoli. Finish cooking, drain, and set aside.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Sauté the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes, or until aromatic and beginning to color.

Add pasta, broccoli, and lemon zest and cook until coated with sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper. Cut up the rotisserie chicken into strips and place on top of pasta. Transfer to serving bowl and top with cheese.
